Restart protection in case of power failure
In case of a power failure, the device switches off automatically
(zero-voltage initiator). To restart, press the green button again.
Motor protection
The motor is equipped with a safety switch and switches off
automatically when overloaded. After a cooling-down break
(approx. 5 min), the motor may be restarted. Press the
1.
reset button (motor protection)
2.
green button I to restart.
ELECTRICAL MAINS SUPPLY IMPEDANCE
When conditions in the electrical mains supply are un-
favourable, voltage reductions for short periods can occur
during the process of turning on the equipment, which can
adversely affect other equipment (e.g., the flickering of a lamp).
No breakdowns are to be expected if the maximum, electrical
mains supply impedances given in the table are met.

Working with the garden shredder
Choose a working position alongside the equipment or be-
hind it. Never stand near the ejection opening.
Longer material that is protruding from the device could
spring back when it is drawn in by the blades! Observe sa-
fety distance!
Never reach into the filling or ejection opening.
Keep your face and body away from the filling opening.
Never place hands, other parts of the body or clothing into
the filler funnel, ejection channel or in the vicinity of other
moving parts.
Check that no chopped residues are in the filling hopper
before switching on the equipment.
Do not tip or tilt the machine when the motor is running.
When filling, be careful that no pieces of metal, stones,
bottles or other objects unintended for processing, enter the
filling hopper.
Immediately switch off the equipment and allow it to come to
a stop, if foreign objects enter the filling hopper or if the
equipment starts to make unusual noises or vibrates. Re-
move the mains plug and carry out the following checks:
−
inspect for damage,
−
replace or repair damaged parts,
−
check the equipment and tighten loose parts.
Caution!
You must not repair the equipment yourself if
you are unauthorized to do so.
WHAT CAN I SHRED?
Yes:
organic household and garden waste
e. g. hedge and tree cuttings, dead flowers and vegetable
kitchen waste.
No:
•
glass, metal, plastic, plastic bags, stones, cloth, roots with
soil, food left-overs, fish or meat.
SPECIAL TIPS ON SHREDDING:
Branches, twigs and wood should be broken down immedia-
tely after they have been cut.
−
Material of this kinds gets very hard when it is dry, and the
maximum allowed branch diameter to be processed has to
be reduced.
Remove any side shoots from branches with a large number
of twigs.
How to shred garden and kitchen waste with hight water
content and a tendency to clog
−
to prevent the machine from clogging, alternate waste with
wood containing material.
Do not allow the shredded material to pile up too high in the
area of the ejection opening. This can lead to shredded ma-
terial blocking the ejection channel, and backing up to the fil-
ler opening.
Clean out the filler opening and ejection channel thoroughly
if the machine becomes blocked. Before doing this, switch
the motor off and disconnect the machine from the mains
power supply.
Please do not exceed the maximum branch diameter spe-
cified (cutting fresh wood) for your appliance (
∅
see “Tech-
nical data”). Depending on the wood’s nature and freshness
the maximum branch diameter the machine can process
may be smaller.
The blades largely pull the material into the machine by
themselves.
Strong branches may cause overloading. This can be
avoided by pulling them back from time to time.
If the machine is overloaded, a protective motor switch en-
sures that the machine turns itself off automatically.
−
Turn the shredder on again after about 5 minutes.
−
If you cannot turn on the machine after this waiting time
refer to „Operational faults“.
